Talley Your Adventure – The Blog

Adventure Awaits!

At Talley Your Adventure, we don’t just plan luxury and culturally rich travel experiences—we live and breathe them. Our blog, travelingtalleys.blog, is where we share the real stories behind our adventures: kayaking alongside glaciers in Alaska, exploring temples in Japan, chasing waterfalls in Iceland, and wandering through storybook towns in Germany. If it’s unforgettable, chances are we’ve done it—or we’re planning it next.

Nicolette brings deep experience in travel and heritage. With a Master’s in Public History, she’s worked as a Supervisory Park Ranger, Revenue Manager, and Program Analyst across multiple national parks for over a decade. Her career has taken her from managing interpretive boat tours in Alaska’s wild backcountry to overseeing large-scale visitor service projects with million-dollar budgets. And yes—she’s also a licensed 100-Ton Inland Master Boat Captain who’s led cultural and ecological tours from riverboats to remote beaches.

Clinton’s travel roots run just as deep. He’s worked in logistics and operations for the National Park Service and was a key member of the hospitality team aboard National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions. From managing guest services on remote international voyages to coordinating facility software systems stateside, he knows what it takes to deliver seamless, high-end travel experiences—even in the most unpredictable places.

Together, we created Talley Your Adventure to bring our experience, passion, and attention to detail to your travel planning. Whether it’s a fully curated group trip or a personalized vacation built just for you, we combine expert-level service with insider know-how—so you can focus on the magic of the journey.

Welcome back!

Wow! It has been over a year since we’ve updated this webpage, and I honestly can only #BlameCovid…THANKS COVID.

Seriously, the past year seems like a blur. I have a new job (yay!), we’re trying to #GetOutdoors as much as possible, all while still navigating through this ever changing Pandemic. As I am sure all of your know through your own various experiences, this can be a challenge! Because we have not had the ability to travel as far and wide as we usually do, and because we have found ourselves in a few interestingly unique experiences while camping and driving recently, my future posts won’t necessarily be about places we’ve been that are new. To tell you the truth, we’ve been visiting a lot of the same places over and over because of the many closures in our area. Navajo Nation Parks just recently opened, but only in a small capacity. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area has unprecedented visitation…and as great as that is for the city, for Clinton and I we’re trying to find the place where we can be alone in nature! Many of the parks around us have timed or limited entry. Backcountry travels like us (and you!) know that this is more frustrating than anything. But we can work through it to see our beautiful public lands!

Our adventures have led us into situations where we had to tow our vehicle out of a forest road (shredded tire), replace the glass in our truck canopy (UTAH), and weekly travels between multiple states for work (and avoid the crazy sand storms!). I am excited to invite your attention back to our blog where I will hopefully continue to entertain you with our experiences – and the results!

We’ve learned a lot this past year and I hope our experience will only influence you to continue to SAFELY enjoy the Great Outdoors. Thanks for keeping with us!

-Nicci and Clinton
